Good Morning FB Friends! Today is Day 8 of our 25 Songs of Christmas and we have a lovely Christmas Carol from the 16th Century. RIU RIU CHIU BY THE MONKEES -1556 (16th Century Spanish Villacicio) This amazing Spanish Hymn was first performed in many cathedrals in 1556. The song is translated as the Nightingale, which is a Nativity Song. The song was lost over the centuries but was surprisingly revived through the Folk Rock Movement of the 1960s. The song had world wide popularity by Made for TV musical group The MONKEES during a Christmas Special in 1967. I never thought a Spanish Hymn would sound so Rock n Roll! But can. youtu.be/c_hlYgCNFZc
